Malnourishment

To be to be, Is who God is, To describe in detail His power, Is malnourishment of what it truly is, Figured it out you have, Far from it, For words from tongues cannot formulate, Words developed for understanding all creation, But words tainted by the human presence, His power that resonates without being heard, A power that shows without being seen, Yet graces those that which don't comprehend.

Your poem has a deep, contemplative tone, almost meditative in its reflection on the limits of language when describing the divine. The structure and phrasing create a sense of mystery, reinforcing the idea that God's power transcends human understanding. The repetition of "to be to be" at the beginning is intriguing--it echoes existential and theological ideas, reminiscent of "I Am" as a divine self-description.
